Dambai

Dambai is a town in the southeastern part of Ghana. It is the administrative capital of the Nkwanta South District in the Oti Region.

The town developed as an agricultural and trading center for surrounding communities. After the creation of the Oti Region from parts of the Volta Region in 2018, Dambai became part of the new region.

Dambai experiences a tropical climate with a distinct wet season and dry season. Average temperatures are high year-round, and rainfall concentrates in the annual rainy period.

The local economy is largely agrarian. Farmers grow maize, cassava, yams, and groundnuts, and small-scale traders supply goods through weekly markets and shops in the town.

Education and health services are provided by several primary and secondary schools and health facilities serving Dambai and nearby communities.

Culturally, the town is home to Ewe-speaking communities and other groups under traditional authorities. Markets, festivals, and crafts reflect the area's regional diversity.

Transport is mainly by road, with connections to regional capitals and surrounding towns. The town has basic utilities and ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure.
